EXPLORING THE PRESENT AND TARGET ACADEMIC ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEEDS OF UZBEK BIOLOGY STUDENTS
Abstrakti
The aim of the present paper is to determine the concerns of biology students who will be exchanging practical field expertise with international counterparts. The researcher carried out the needs analysis among 28 students from Natural Science Department at Namangan State University to discover their present and target academic English language needs, lacks, and wants. Due to ESP, the concerns should be properly stated and handled through instruction that is particularly tailored to each individual. Each ESP instructor should be aware of the students' abilities and academic backgrounds, as this can aid teachers during language instruction. During the needs analysis, it was agreed to test all four of the students' skills.
